A golf ball Tiger Woods gave to a young fan during the final round of his victorious 1997 Masters tournament has sold for $64,124, auction house Golden Age Auctions said on Sunday.
Woods bogeyed the fifth hole and handed the ball to Julian Nexsen, who was nine-years-old at the tie. Bidding for the Titleist ball, which has 'Tiger' stamped on it, began at $500 when Nexsen put it up for auction on March 27, the auction site said.
"Unless Tiger himself or his caddie Fluff intentionally saved a ball from this historic final round , this may be the only confirmed golf ball from the final round of Tiger Woods' first major championship victory," Golden Age Auctions said.
